Results of DFA2 for the daily maximum temperature records of 18 inner continental stations (○) and two coastline stations (×): (a) 1 Urumchi, 2 Tomsk, 3 Atbasar, 4 Chita, 5 Olekminsk, 6 Horog, 7 Swerdlowsk, 8 Surgut, 9 Jakutsk, 10 Aleksandrovsk; (b) 1 Huron, 2 Academy, 3 Cheyenne, 4 Gothenburg, 5 Gunnison, 6 Spokane, 7 Winnemucca, 8 Pendleton, 9 Tuscon, 10 New York. The estimated minimum distance to the oceans is written in parentheses. The scale of
is arbitrary. The straight lines in the curves represent the best fits between
and 2500. For each curve, the variance of the slope is about
. The line at the bottom has a slope of
, corresponding to
. The maximum
value in each curve is below one quarter of the length of the corresponding record.
